I really have little faith in Wisconsin politics.

Yes Dems have been cheated, gerrymandered, hacked.. All of it.

But Dems run weak candidates and never speak up very loudly against it.

Wisconsin used to be fiery in their determination. Not so much.. No money being spent on 2018 that I feel. No overt support of people like Randy Bryce. Randy Bryce Randy Bryce. (my friend and I are determined to say Randy Bryce's name three time a day.)

Spouse was born here, I have been here for 60 years. We are getting out of Wisconsin just as soon as we can plan it.. We are leaving the country even. Going to a country that's 90% off the grid. A country that welcomes US older citizens. A place with universal health, but if you want private insurance it's $120 a month.. Never gets cold Why on earth would I want to stay in cold Wisconsin? and I'm not necessarily talking about weather

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
